Finals season can be brutal. The pressure, the long hours, the burnout—it all piles on fast. But I want this week’s blog to be a reminder: don’t let this week make you question your intelligence.

Colorectal cancer isn’t just something older adults need to worry about anymore—it’s hitting younger people at an alarming rate. While March is officially Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness Month, this is a conversation we should be having year-round.

In recent years, the field of chiropractic has expanded into areas never seen before. Chiropractors are now making an impact in lots of spaces—pediatrics, nutrition, animal care, women’s health, functional medicine, orthopedics and beyond.

This week, I would like to talk a little bit about Part 1 of the NBCE board exam and some suggestions I have for those taking it soon. The thought of taking a board exam is daunting, especially for those who are pursuing their first board certification. My hope is that this blog post can provide some guidance and encouragement.

These past few days, I’ve been reflecting on my time at National. Now that I’m over the midterm hump of Tri 5, it’s hitting me—I’m officially halfway through the program. It feels like I just started yesterday, yet somehow, I’ve aged five years in the process.

In my last blog post, I talked about the American Chiropractic Association’s (ACA’s) ENGAGE 2025, the new Medicare bill, and why it matters. Now that I’m back from the trip, I want to share some highlights and reflections on the experience as a whole.

For those unfamiliar with the current bill making its way through Congress, now is a great time to become informed about legislation that may impact your future practice as a chiropractor. The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 539 and S.106) aims to expand Medicare coverage to include more services provided by chiropractors, not just the current limitation to manual manipulation of the spine.
